Join us for this FREE WARRIP webinar!
In collaboration with Main Roads Western Australia as part of the Western Australian Road Research and Innovation Program (WARRIP), ARRB have undertaken research to assist road agencies with planning for infrastructure vulnerability due to climate change.
This project undertook extensive research through a review of internal best practice literature, a review of Australia state road agency practices, the sourcing of climate change projection data and the investigation of adaptation strategies for road infrastructure.
This project used this research to undertake a demonstrative study, using a pilot network vulnerability assessment model.
This presentation will provide a summary of the key research areas, an overview of how the pilot assessment was undertaken, and a presentation of the initial results and example outputs.
A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation.
